Chapter 882: Earth Cultivated Grade Sacrificial Offerings (1/2)

Huang Jinnan’s expression flickered as soon as Nie Tian’s nine Heaven Eyes came to form.

After going blank briefly, he smiled and said, “The Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s Star Eyes!

“They allow you to detect even the faintest soul fluctuations, which is something even my Golden Eye can’t do. My Golden Eye only allows me to see even the smallest physical things, and what materials things are made from.”

He seemed to know a great deal about the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s secret magics.

Nie Tian’s Heaven Eyes were a condensation of pure soul power, which meant they could only be detected by souls, yet he was able to shrewdly discover them the moment Nie Tian released them.

“So what I call Heaven Eyes are actually referred to as Star Eyes?” he thought to himself.

Bits of starlight shone in the depths of Nie Tian’s eyes as his nine Heaven Eyes covered the perimeter of the square, conducting a thorough scan.

Thanks to his Heaven Eyes, the numerous evil spirits sealed within the eighteen stone columns became very distinctive.

Each and every stone column seemed to be imprisoning hundreds of evil spirits, which were roaring soundlessly, yet failing to break out of their confinement.

WHOOSH!

All of a sudden, an evil spirit suddenly entered his sight, and flew closer and closer towards the square.

As it approached one of the stone columns, it started squirming and struggling in the air.

Even so, seconds later, it was sucked into that stone column and become one of its several hundred prisoners.

“Hmm?!” Nie Tian exclaimed as he instantly realized that the evil spirits within those eighteen stone columns had probably been trapped and imprisoned in the same manner.

Then, he focused on the ghouls.

Soon, he discovered that all of the ghouls in the square were wandering around the stone columns mechanically.

None of them seemed to be able to leave the spacious square.

The square seemed like a giant prison that attracted the evil spirits and ghouls in the vicinity, yet as soon as they entered it, they wouldn’t be able to leave.

Even though a large number of ghouls walked senselessly around the stone columns, none of them approached the ancient altar in the middle.

Countless corpses were piled up around and even on the altar. They hadn’t turned into ghouls after dying who knew how many years ago.

Through his Heaven Eyes, Nie Tian saw the evil spirits and the ghouls.

However, he didn’t capture any soul fluctuations other than the evil spirits’.

With the help of his bloodline power, he only sensed the ghouls’ flesh auras. There didn’t seem to be any other kinds of flesh auras in this place.

If there were actually living beings here, his Heaven Eyes and bloodline power would have been able to detect their soul fluctuations and flesh auras.

WHOOSH!

One of his Heaven Eyes attempted to fly to the center of the square after roaming the perimeter for some time.

As it did, it suddenly morphed into a cluster of bright starlight, turning from invisible to visible.

Something seemed to have shone on and revealed it.

In the next moment, the star soul’s power Nie Tian had vested in that Heaven Eye scattered. The cluster of starlight rapidly shrank to the size of a grain of rice before vanishing completely.

Nie Tian’s expression flickered with astonishment as he experienced a stabbing pain in his mind.

Since the connection between him and that Heaven Eye was gone, he realized that he had lost it, along with the soul power and the star soul’s power he had used to made it.

Seeing this, he didn’t dare to send any of his other eight Heaven Eyes into the square. With a grim face, he warned the others, “A mysterious force exists in the square. If you use your soul power rashly in there, you’ll probably suffer strong backlashes. So don’t send out soul power. Once your soul power flies out of you, it’ll be eliminated immediately.”

Before he could finish, Huang Jinnan let out a muffled groan as he hastily withdrew his Golden Eye.

He took a deep breath and said, “Nie Tian is right. Our soul power will be destroyed if we send it into the square.”

Not daring to enter the square rashly, he pondered safe ways to enter, standing where he was.

“I wonder whether the imprisoned evil spirits can fly out of those stone columns,” he thought out loud. “Those eighteen stone columns are holding a tremendous number of evil spirits. If they actually fly out after we enter, we’ll be in serious trouble.

“Besides, the ghouls are also there in great numbers, and they’re more powerful than the ones we ran into before.

“They may not be able to swamp us as soon as we enter the square, but they’ll definitely be drawn to our flesh auras and madly pursue us.

“I can’t see what’s hidden in the square for now, but I’m certain that we’ll face serious threats from both ghouls and evil spirits as soon as we enter to search for treasures.

“This is a bit tricky now.”

Huang Jinnan’s expression grew unprecedentedly serious and grim as he raised his hand, signaling the chosen ones from the various domains to stand down.

RUMBLE!
